Bonsai Collection


Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection closed to the public on April 2, 2009.

Elegance and serenity. Drama and passion. Bonsai is an ancient Asian art form that finds root in human emotion. The Weyerhaeuser corporate campus is the home for our Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection.

Bonsai are miniaturized, living trees shaped by artists to portray scenic large trees in nature. The collection features 60 outstanding bonsai from six Pacific Rim nations.

Did You Know?

The word bonsai is derived from two Chinese characters meaning a tree planted in a shallow container. The word is pronounced "bone-sigh."

Bonsai is an art form composed partly of horticulture and partly of three-dimensional design. To qualify as a bonsai, the growing miniature tree must be both a representation of nature and a creative expression.
